The beginning of Samurai 8 had its pros and cons, depending upon various readers.
However, if there is one thing every Kishimoto-fan can agree upon – it is that Samurai 8, chapter 39, was phenomenal!
The story of Hachi has reached an exciting point, leaving us fans too eager to wait for one week. Let’s talk about the next chapter, then!
1. Chapter 42 Release Date
Samurai 8 Chapter 42, titled “The Next Shooting Star” will be released on March 15, 2020. Chapter 42 will show Hachimaru’s retaliation against Ata and Hachimaru’s seven brothers. With a newfound resolve, Hachi might have unlocked a new Samurai power.
2. Chapter 42 Speculation
There is so much that could happen in the next chapter. After hearing Nanashi’s words, Hachimaru has understood the true meaning of Fudo Myo-o’s words.
He has now transformed himself into the form of a locker ball. How this helps him in getting away from Ata while saving Ann is something worth waiting for!
3. Chapter 42 Raw Scans
Samurai 8, chapter 242, raw scans came out recently. And, as expected, they were nothing short of phenomenal.
Hachimaru disappears and meets a projection of Fudo Myo-o, his epiphany in the last chapter helps him unlock a new form — Fudo Hachimaru! (that’s what I am going to call him until the official translation is out).
Hachimaru makes the other kakus look like him only to get them killed by Ata, however, while trying to protect Ann from Ata’s attack, Hachi gets fatally wounded.
The chapter ends with Hachi remembering his promise to his dad, Ann & everyone else — this makes his Courage/Heroism stats go infinity!
4. Chapter 41 Plot
Chapter 41, titled “Nanashi the Samurai,” was released recently. It began with Nanashi creating an astral form out of his Samurai soul to rescue Hachimaru.
Ata, on the other hand, receives the location of Mandala Box from Kala. The next panel shows Hachimaru’s seven brothers trying to acquire Ann as their fated princess.
Nanashi’s astral form then reaches Hachimaru and makes him realize something — the true meaning of Fudo Myo’s words.
With reasons unknown to everyone, the final panel shows Hachimaru transforming himself in the form of a locked ball!
